What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the presence and correlation of paranasal sinus pneumatization among patients with and without nasal septal deviations (NSD), to enhance clinical understanding of sinonasal anatomical variations. Materials and methods: It is descriptive, retrospective study under a monocentric, utilizing institutional archives. 30 subjects with NSD and 30 without NSD were selected. Inclusion criteria required diagnostic quality Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, while exclusion criteria included developmental anomalies, central pathology, previous sinonasal surgery, fractures, and non-diagnostic images. The Assessment of Pneumatization of the Paranasal Sinuses (APPS) score was used to evaluate anatomical variations in paranasal sinuses based on CBCT scans. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and independent t-test via SPSS version 23. Results: A significant association between NSD and certain anatomical variations was observed. Notably, higher prevalence rates of variations such as pneumatization of the maxillary floor, middle turbinate concha bullosa, and superior frontal sinus wall were found in subjects with NSD. Statistical significance was confirmed in seven out of nine parameters, with p-values < 0.001 for most comparisons. The left side exhibited greater pneumatization than the right. The total APPS scores showed strong statistical significance between groups ( Conclusion: The study reveals a significant relationship between nasal septal deviation and paranasal sinus pneumatization, suggesting that septal deviations may influence the extent of pneumatization in the sinonasal complex.
